Does he coach the NC? Or start putting together a staff and hit the recruiting trail?

I don't think it will matter either way. Meyer is the brain behind UF's spread, so they aren't going to be hurting in the bowl game.

On the other side, Mullen is going to have his work cut out for him just keeping the the players Croom was able to receive verbals from.

As for the hire, I don't quite understand it. Croom has built a smash-mouth type team at MSU. They have the personnel for a power-run / ball control offense. Now they are switching to the spread?

M$U gets a coach before Lee County Trade School. Considering that this is a prime recruiting period, the Barn should try to move fast.

This idea of having to move fast to 'save this recruiting class' has always confused me.

Yes, one recruiting class can be important - critical even, see our class from last year.

But, the right hire can result in a coach being at your school for ten-to-fifteen-to-twenty years. It is always better to take your time, even if you void one year of prospects, if necessary to hire the right guy for the long haul.

Now, taking your time and losing a year of recruits and THEN hiring the wrong guy... Oh, brother.
